SOCIAL EQUALITY.

Question.
AUSTIN, June I, 1887.

AUSTIN, June I, 1887.
To the Editor of the Statesman.
Will you allow an observer to suggest a
reason for the neglected duty of not hon
oring our dead heroes? Perhaps it was
because the living are to be so highly
honored on the 4th instant, are to have
such an exhibition of true southern pa
triotism, as we'll as such an intellectual
treat" the dead are quite forgotten.
Lis to what the Travis County Ex-
ecHtive committee" have to say: I'VE have
arranged for suitable rally during Bishop
Turner's visit to Austin, and have planned
a grand basket picnic. to be held on The
barbecue grounds, TO which all--especially
the colored people of Travis and other
conn.ies-are most heartily invited.
Every colOred man for fifty miles around,
and thousands of our own people as well,
will profit by this opportunity to hear the
eloquent colored bishop and our own tai
ented representative "
Spirits Of the departed Sons of the
south ! arise and defend your country
from everlasting disgrace. Think of it,
the representative of the democratic
party. southern born mar, playing "sec-
ond fiddle" to negro bishop The
"colored gem'men" is to speak in the
morning, the ''wbite gem'men' in the
evening. For this we are politicians"
The invitation is more cordial to the ne
groe5 than to the white people. It is
people so much desire to meet
the distinguished 'colored gem men,
that they will be there anyhow. 1 think
that the little Pro- has promised too
much when it says thousands Of our own
people will be there to hear the colOred
bishop, perhaps the prohibitionists will
be there with their families-but | am
quite sure thousands will stay away, at
least until we are forced to mix and
mingle by the ballot box. 1t is getting
to be powerful and dangerous weapon
there is no telling what the future will
develop. If it can decide one social ques-
ton it can another. 1t has always been q
principle with the southern people that
it was degrading to associate socially with
the African race. A principle is a fixed
fact: it cannot progress; it is as fixed as
the eternal hills; then what are we to
think of our prOhibitionist friends when
they extend the invitation to all, and
promise that thousands of our people
will be there? Would they extend the
invitation on any other occasion? Would
the Hon. Taylor Moore" have invited the
cOlored bishop to sit with him on the
rostrum if he had been there to deliver
literary address, No. Then it is de-
grading to both races; degrading to the
cOlored race because they are only used
by the party as tools. If you hadn't a
vote, colored people, you would be left to
eat your own bread and meat at home
and you know it. OBSERVER.

EARTHQUAKES IN THE ROCKIES.

The heavy shocks in eastern California
and western Nevada yesterday, are seem
ingly connected with the recently started
activity of the seismic forces what
ever they arel along the line Of II e
Sierra Madre, in Sonora. As was remarked
some time ago, the lofty mountain ranges
which overlook the Pacific from Cape
Horn to Alaska, are but a continuous vol.
canic chain throughout whose lengths are
visible evidences OF eruptiye action in
past ages. All accounts from the shocks
in Sonora attest the fact of volcanic
action in the Sierras, simultaneously
with the shocks which appear yet
to continue. If there is any real connec-
ton between earthquakes and volcanoes
even so far as recent theories hold that the
two are different and various manifesto
tions of the same occult force-it would
not be surprising to hear of our Califor-
mia neighbors being treated to some of
natures pyrotechnics in the shape of an
active crater.
The Rockies, following the lead of the
Sierras, appear to be about to get down
with their old complaint, which has evil
IDENTIFY bothered them in past geological
eras. The e earthquakes in the west so
closely succeeding the Charleston
shocks, and previous disturbances
in the northern and middle states,
show two things. Flrst-That the por-
ton of the crust of our planet occupied
by the United States is not free from the
stupendous power of the earthquake
force. Second-That after a long period
of repose this force has again become ac-
tive. For how long period, or to what
degree of power, it is to attain, there is
nothing in the past records of seismology
to show.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-09

new laws, brief and to the point, and appli-
cable to the present condition of the state
and society, and on plane with the civil
cation of the age, should be enacted to take
the place of the present statutes. Some of
the present laws are good, and could be re-
enacted, but there should be general
wedding out and looping off, and new
codes enacted more III co, so1ance with the
times. Fewer and better laws is what the
people OF Texas want, but they will
never get them until they pay more atten-
ton to their interests il selecting material
for their law-raaLS:s than they have in the
past. We can not expect to have all good
men, but we should at least strive to have
enough to !eaven The whole lot, matter
in which we nave become notorious through
failing to do for some time in the past"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-09

of Texas has laws to protect her against
crime, yet crime abounds. The church
has laws to protect her against drunkard-
ness, gambling, dancing and extravaganza
dress, yet those things exist. Parents have
rules prohibiting their children going
to bar-rooms, yet they want the
state to take the matter in hand.
Young men, if you cannot pass a bar
room without entering it, then you are al
ready slaves, but mind how you place
yourselves and your descendants in chains
by voting away the private rights of
American citizens. Think that under the
prohibition law you must take
written permit from doc
/ tor to spend your own money,

OF it, freegborn citizen carrying per

can buy as much poison as you want, but
you can't get wine. rich man can keep

must pay doctor for an order or pass"
to get pint. Young men. live ard die
with your integrity unbleminished, with
your honor bright; be men, rely upon
your manhood, believe in the blessed
words Of mother-home and heaven-and
you will not need laws that will injure
others to protect you.
AN AUSTIN MOTHER,
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-09
THE FINANCIAL STATUS.

As with individuals, so with state gov
ernments, there is no better iLdex to the
actual condition of their affairs
than the ledger. This shows whether the
business has been successfully run or not {;
whether there is prosperity or its OPP
po-ite.
According 70 this rule, and when the
financial status of the state govern
mnt is considered, Texas at present is
found to be one of the most
prosperous of states. According to
the last report of the comptrol-
Ter the bonded debt of the state due in
different issues in from five to forty years,
with an annual interest ranging
from to 7 per cent, is
S4,237,7 $50. This, balanced against assets
in the shape of taxable values-which
may be set down at $7OOOOOOOO, is a mere
drop in the bucket.
The total estimate OF revenue receipts
for one year, from all sources, al valorem,
revenue, poll and occupation taxes in
Guiding about 100000 liquor tax in
round numbers, is $2.566,677. Subtract
ing cost of collection, the usual insolve nt
losses and the proportion of occupation
taxes due the school fund, the total esti-
mated net revenue for one year is too
million dollars III roun
Against this is to be placed the estimat-
ed expenditures for one year, these beng
about $1,6O0,OOO, and the reason, or a
part of the reason will be apparent,
why there is now on hand in the state
treasury so healthy cash balance of
1891, 741.81 as reported in that de-
partment on the 1st inst.
Our state government never was in a
healthier, more satisfactory and prosper
Gus condition than under the present adj
ministration of Governor Ross, which
state of affairs in a former article, was
shown to be the direct result of the gov
ernor's veto of the tax postponement bill.
The old Alcalde's pay asyou-go" record
is even beaten by the present administra-
ton. And be it remembered the big
balance in the treasury has been heapcd
up with no strain whatever on the people,
among whom there has been no complaint.
This may be changed if the prohibitory
amendment now pending, is adopted by
the people, for it will cut of half million
from our state revenues, to say nothing of
an equal amount from county and city
revenues. 1t will, therefore, necessitate
an increase Of taxation to keep up the
financial condition of the state govern
ment TO its. present splendid standard.

But of this total 92G.529,GOO acres were
mot available" including Alaska, noun
tain and Indian lands, leaving 9OO,OOO,OOO
acres available.
Out of this vast amount private parties
and actual settlers have received 800
100000 acres. Congress has given the
states 161,OOO.OOO acres. and for land
bouuties IN military service. 81 100000
acres: for canals and wagon roads, g.
100000 acres, making a total of 90
100000 acres. If we add to this IL. 100000
acres granted to railroads, then but
2O0,OOO,OOO of the 9OO,OOOOOO remain.
Of the public domain 2O,647.OOO acres
have gone into the hands of about thirty
foreign landlords and corporations.
Some of our own corporations have re-
ceived immense slices, the Texas Pacific
railway owning 100000 acres and the
Northern Pacific +7,OOO.OOO.
In few years, if Uncle Sam keeps on
he will have no more land to offer the
homeless of this or any other country.
And for this reason it is with marked
pleasure the democracy of the country
can point TO Cleyeland's western land
policy. that will redeem from the posses
sion of corporations. millions OF acres of
land for the actual settlers, who wilt soon
occupy and possess it.
